Domestic shipping error?

[waya5683]

Hi everyone! I'm selling a few things on ebay, started this year. I put in domestic shipping which is in Sweden where I am for $7, and worldwide/international shipping for $17. Someone just purchased from me and ended up getting the domestic shipping rate even though they are in the US. How is this possible and how do I contact ebay about this?

You're wrong

I wrote the same thing as you did in a simpler saying and you re-write them

Results are the same. You are entitled to your interpretation but false accusation would place you in wrong

FYI

Marketplace  is

www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/marketplace

means a governmental agency or non-profit entity that meets the applicable standards of the Affordable Care Act and helps residents of the State of Texas buy qualified health plan coverage from insurance companies or health plans such as Molina Healthcare. The Marketplace may be run as a state- based marketplace, a federally facilitated marketplace, or a partnership marketplace. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term refers to the Marketplace operating in the State of Texas, however; it may be organized and run.

Have fun reading!

Again, if I sell something to out of state as a retail entity in my .com and ship, no taxes applied but when I sell to the same person through eBay, eBay collects tax, because eBay is a registered trade in their state

There is a big difference from your .com site and Ebay.

No, Ebay is not register in their sate.

Each state decides if they want sales tax collected or not, and if they do, Ebay has to collect it for them.

You are not even remotely talking about the same thing.   Here is a link that will help you understand what the rest of us are talking about.

It has nothing to do with the A. C. A..

Ebay, Amazon, Etsy and a few others are considered a marketplace and have to follow the marketplace tax laws.

Oh, marketplace facilitator, not Marketplace State Okay got it 

A little bit of difference there🤣

Wrong,

"Each state decides if they want sales tax collected or not, and if they do, Ebay has to collect it for them."

It's each state's laws and not decided by state. States don't decide on collections or not. These are laws past through each state's legislative branch 

eBay follows the law, not orders of state

 "I'm not sure if you are arguing because you like to argue or whether you really do believe that you know better than anyone else here."

This is one of those sentences, I told you about. You probably need to divid it into three. As it appears, you don't make any sense! 

Good Day,

I'm not sure what is happening with all these posts. What I have learned:

If I sell on ebay.com domestic shipping means US. If I sell on ebay.co.uk domestic means Great Britain. This was not made clear by ebay when listing through the webpage. When I checked the app, domestic was called "shipping to US".

My solution:

I did not ask for additional money through paypal since the person on ebay couldn't guarantee that would have a negative impact on my account. I sent the items I sold with a loss of about 5 dollars including shipping. Which sucks, but was the easiest and most correct solution as I was the one who did not know that ebay has a unique meaning for "domestic". But now I know.

Thanks for the help everyone!

You got exactly the information you needed from this discussion @waya5683 so you can ignore all the incorrect info that was posted. Great that you came out with a very minimal loss and were able to correct all your active listings. Happy sales.

It's okay if you want to lose money. eBay as well as me suggested for you to bill the Buyer. You didn't! That's it

Life doesn't stop here. Next time something like this happens to you, again, you can choose to invoice the Buyer or be out of pocket. It's all up to you

This is eBay. You post items for sale. eBay doesn't protect your profits, they provide a platform to sell. You either trust the platform or you don't. I am facing a group of people who don't. You chose not to trust the platform either. It's okay

I suggest for you to think hard and clear and choose the path to your success.

Thank you for your honesty. You're a good person
